This Taurus PT 24/7 is manufactured by KWC with fully licensed trademarks. It is built on the same frame as the Ultra Grand spring powered version of the PT 24/7 however this has a metal slide and has been designed with a CO2 gas system. It is a superbly detailed model with an extremely comfortable rubber grip and the combat sights have white dots. All the markings are accurate to the real firearm and the frame even has sequential serial numbers.

The CO2 cartridge is installed into the pistols full metal magazine. This is a non blow back pistol so the slide does not recoil however it will pump out shots just as fast as you can pull the trigger and empty its 15 round magazine in just a few seconds. Thanks to this non blow back design, this pistol is very efficient on gas making it possible to get several magazines out of just one CO2 cartridge.

WARNING: Due to inconsistent sizing in other co2 cartridges we strongly advise the use of the co2 cartridges listed below in the recommended items. Problems experienced with other cartridges can or may include failure to fully seat, puncture and or leaking from the mag. Any problems associated with the use of said co2 are not the fault of Shorty USA.

For a pistol it is okay. I think that there are better pistols for the same price but I am still testing new guns. For a gas gun I was hoping for more but It is a good beginner gas gun because it is easy to load the gas and there are no problem after that

LOADING:
All you have to do is use the included Allen wrench to unscrew the place where the CO2 goes put the CO2 in and screw the bolt back in until you hear a "hiss" turn it a half turn and you are ready to load BB's into it.
I Don't like the way you load BB's into a pistol having to shove the BB's into the mag while holding down the spring. I like the direct feed feature of rifle mags, but OH well. When it comes to loading BB's this pistol is like all others.

SHOOTING:
It shoots straight and as fast as you can pull the trigger which is nit necessarily a good thing. I tend to squeeze off three shots into an opponent and being that it only holds 15 shots (and yes it holds ONLY 15 BB's) I can only shoot five people. But so far this has been enough because I am a sniper and most people don't dare come within 200 feet of me so I have only needed to use this a couple of times. The first time I used it was because some guy did not believe I shot him and he charged me so I pulled this out and shot him in the head five times at 50 feet before he could turn his gun to shoot me, and after that he was in considerable pain. Later the same guy refused to admit he got hit and go out so I had to snipe him in the neck to convince him that he did get hit... The guy was a moron...

Mags:
Well it does not yet come with extra mags but I see extra mags in its future. I mean it better have extra mags comming soon. The mag capacity is in my opinion way too small, but you might find it to your liking. When I first bought this gun the mag it came with was defective, and when I told Shorty about that they IMMEDIATELY sent me a new one which I really appreciated. Hooray for Shorty's!!

Overall:
It was an okay gun, but once I got the new mag it became Vary reliable, and on a new CO2 cartridge it shoots through cardboard. After about 3-4 mags full of BB's it quickly looses performance but when it does just replace the CO2 cartridge and your fine.

I hope this review has helped...

I have used this gun on several occasions as both a primary and secondary weapon. I can definitely say when it works, it works beautifully. The only problem is that due to some poor internal construction of the gun it's performance is inconsistent. I have had to make some slight modifications to my friend's pistol because the actual firing mechanism would disconnect from the trigger at random.

OVER ALL OPINION: Over all it is a nice secondary weapon, if you are looking for reliability however, look elsewhere. Gun has a great feel, good accuracy, and decent durability. For the price however, there are some other CO2 pistols I would go with over this one.

Shorty needs to start selling more C02 guns. I favor C02 guns over any other regular gas gun. Hopefully this is the beginning of Shorty selling a lot of cheaper nbb C02 guns.

Now to the gun:
The 24/7 is definitely one of my favorite pistols for looks. It is a great looking gun and this one is very accurate to the looks of the real gun. It functions very well, and I haven't had any problems with it. I also like this gun more because it is a non blow back, so it doesn't guzzle gas, is cheaper, and less likely to break. It is an average capacity for a C02 nbb, so there is no use for you to look for a different one just for its magazine capacity. It is extremely accurate and the fps is GOOD. This has slightly lower fps than other C02 guns, but it is average, and average is all you need from a C02 pistol. This will most likely be used as a back up, and you use back ups at close range, so average fps is plenty for the range you are in.

This is my favorite back up, and is easy on the wallet; gun and C02 cartridges.

BUY this lovely gun!!!

I recently purchased this particular gun (read: yesterday) and received it today. When I first opened the package, I noticed the size. It's a small to medium frame handgun, living up to my size expectations immediately. The rest of the aesthetics were on par, with no discernable difference between this airsoft pistol and the real Taurus (save the orange tip, of course).

Performance was also superb, with me being able to punch holes through a silhouette target's torso at 135' within a 5" diameter circle. CO2 performance started to decrease noticeably at around 100 rds shot, or approximately 7 clips (rounded up).

Two things that immediately attracted me to this particular handgun were the white-dot sights and the propellant. On every gun I've shot, the white-dot sights made it easy and quick to acquire a target. This gun's sights are no different, proving extremely accurate at both off-hand and sighted aiming. Also, the use of CO2 (a non-flammable gas) also influenced my decision. I prefer not to use gas guns, simply due to the use of flammable gases as propellants. However, CO2 allays that concern as well as providing availability, with 12g tanks being available at almost all sporting goods stores.

Overall, this gun is a wonderful addition to any airsofter's arsenal, whether it be a new player or seasoned veteran. I'd give it a ten out of ten on performance or aesthetics alone.

Well as more and more MPEG are coming out me and most of my friends are switching to gas guns, seems like the only real thing left in airsoft. Pistol wars are suprisingly fun! makes me feel like james bond :)

anyways on to the gun. The CO2 is very nice and this is the first Co2 in my collection. It feels weird without the blowback but i can shoot it faster and it uses less Co2. It is pretty cheap but is very sturdy. as for accuracy it will go a good 100-120 feet or so.

But... it has a very low mag capacity because the Co2 is in that. and the Co2 is hard to load on the field because you have to unscrew it with an allen wrench. But despite that this is very good for your money and Co2 can be bought for 50 cents at sporting good stores.

I got this gun at ... but anyway the gun was very good on a full c02 cartridge and i could hit a quarter alot further than what it said i could on the box. after a while the accuracy started to degrade but the power was just as good. it can go through and through a soda can and through one side of another can and still dent the other side. after about 2 weeks it started to leak and i lubed it and the valve but the leak wouldnt go away. it also said 250 shots aper co2 powerlet

I bought this (amazing) gun, a few weeks ago. And haven't stopped loving it since. This gun is a great addition to any airsofters arsenal, whether they're a new player or a seasoned veteran.

LOOKS and FEEL:
This gun looks and feels just like the real thing, with the Taurus marking on both the slide and the handle. The gun is a medium to a small gun, and will fit in almost every holster. The grip is great fitting, almost like it was molded to your hand. Also the grip has a nice soft plastic, almost grippy feel. It has a rail mount for extra attachments. This gun has the best sights, unlike other handguns where you never use the sights because you only use it in close quarters, you could actually use the sights, hitting opponents...

SHOOTING:
... 120' away with 300 fps. It shoots extremely straight, and will fire off shots as fast as you can pull the trigger. Fortunately shooting this fast the gun never jams. Not once has it jammed, so don't worry about that, and not having an ejection port. This gun being very accurate, can shoot all of its 15rds into a 3" diameter 120' away. Over all being a very nice shooting gun.

MAGAZINES and CO2 PERFORMANCE: Having a 15rds magazine, making it an average magazine amount, you will need more magazines. Sadly, Shortys does not sell these. ... As far as the CO2 goes, this gun is extremely good at conserving CO2. One CO2 cartridge lasts around 6 magazines, then the performance starts to decrease. Loading the CO2 is extremely easy just screw the cap off with the (included) allen wrench, and put a CO2 cartridge in. Then screw the cap back in until your a hiss, then turn it another half turn.

JAMS, PROBLEMS, LUBING, and OTHER:
Never jammed, no problems, lube it once you get it, and thats it. Simply right, well since KWC knew this, you can't field strip this gun, doesn't matter you wont need to, since it never jams. As far as lubing it, lube it every 1000 shots.

ACCESSORIES
As I said before, this gun has a rail mount, allowing for all different attachments. I personally like the flash light, because who ever really needs a laser pointer on a pistol, (no offense to people who do use one, but really, why?) Silencers... cool for looks, nothing else much. I also recommend buying a speed loader, it will make your life a whole lot easier.

I really recommend this gun to anyone. For use as a primary or secondary weapon. Please buy this gun, you'll thank me when you do.(please rate this)
This has been GeneralTaurus... Fight me if you dare...

This gun is amazing. Shorty is being modest when it's only
saying 300 fps with .2s. It's more like 350 FPS with .2s
This gun has crazy accuracy. Sometimes my friend uses this gun and Whenever he does he always gets a head-shot like from 60
feet. That's crazy for a handgun, since only real steel
models are only accurate for about 30 feet.

Cons:
*Weighs nothing without mag
*If you crank the trigger with the safety on, the bb's will roll out of the barrel.
*Mags cost about as much as the gun, and the CO2 is in the mag so you can't just switch mags(if you have two mags).

With the exceptions of the mag problems this hand-gun is a beast.
4/5

When my dad first saw this, he asked me why i bought a gun and who i was planning to kill... i think that should explain the realism behind it... (my dad's a gun collector ... which should tell you something). Although i will say the one i got was a little different than the one this picture is displaying but it's still the same gun.
